What is a Wildcard SSL Certificate?

This article provides you with information on how to a Wildcard Certificate works.

 

 

Easy to manage and flexible, a Subject Alternative Names (SANs) secured Wildcard is a top choice for organizations managing multiple sites hosted across numerous subdomains.
